23andMe’s CEO Anne Wojcicki has saved the genetics company from the brink of failure before. She sat down with WIRED to talk about where it goes from here.
23andMe has been a lot of things throughout its history. Founded in 2006, it’s best known as a genetic testing company that provides insights into people’s ancestry and health risks from tubes of spit they send through the mail. It’s also a data company, having amassed a trove of DNA samples from some 10 million people who have consented to sharing their genetic information for research.
So if you can make it easier to access really quality care, then it makes a difference for people. With the recent data breach, what assurance can you provide to customers that their data will be secure moving forward? Especially customers who are interested in this new service, you will be analyzing even more of their genome, and arguably have even more of their health and genetic data. I can’t say much because of the litigation, so I’d point you to our blog.
